ALLERGY AWARE

A friendly reminder that St Francis Xavier's School is an allergy aware school. This means that we aim to create a safe environment for our students with allergies and request that our families are mindful of the foods being packed in their child's lunchbox.   Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

BOOK COVERING

We are lucky to have received a number of new reading resources for the school. As a result, we are searching for volunteers to assist with covering these books. If you are able to help, please contact Ms Hogan or Mrs Gould at the School Office. All materials are provided.

BIRTHDAY CAKE PROCEDURE

While we love to celebrate your child's birthday, parents and guardians are reminded to please contact the Office before bringing in icy poles, lollipops or cupcakes for your child’s birthday. 

This is to check for any allergies that may be in your child's class group as well as arrange an appropriate time with the class teacher. 

                                  Please do not bring in any food that includes nuts or traces of nuts.

LOST PROPERTY

With the cooler weather setting in, our lost property is starting to collect jumpers and jackets without names on them. If your child has misplaced any belongings please ask them to check the lost property located in the Office. 

Please see below our lost property procedure: 

* LABELLED ITEMS - Returned to child

* ITEMS NOT LABELLED OR EX STUDENT NAME - Placed in lost property

PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL BELONGINGS ARE LABELLED CLEARLY. We ask that you please also regularly check your child's bag to ensure that hats, jackets and other items belong to your child as we understand that on occasion items get mixed up.
